Infinite City: Right Wing of the Dove

Thursday, August 12 and Saturday, August 14, 2010

Upending the image of the Bay Area as a liberal safe haven, “Right Wing of the Dove” documents the muscular history of military centers and corporate-military partnerships in the region. As Solnit writes, “we are the brain of the war machine, or perhaps its imagination.”

The Bay Area’s Military-Industrial Complex
Trevor Paglen, artist
Antonia Juhasz, activist/writer

What sort of conservative activities are happening in the area most often cited as the most liberal in the country? Local activist Juhasz, author of The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report, discusses the Bay Area’s centrality to corporate exploitation around the globe. Trevor Paglen, an experimental geographer and artist whose recent works focus on government surveillance and secret programs, turns to the invisible economy of military-corporate technical invention in the Bay Area. The Center for Tactical Magic’s Tactical Ice Cream Unit will be on hand to distribute the broadsides.
